CHAPTER 635: SUDDEN ATTACK

Chapter 635: Sudden Attack

...

Had all the physical sensations corresponding to the favorability rating suddenly been unlocked?

Was there really such a good thing?

Didn't that mean his little brother had finally made it big!?

Chen Huaian couldn't wait to check Li Qingran's status.

It was currently nighttime in the Cangyun Realm.

Li Qingran wasn't sitting cross-legged cultivating in the formation array as she usually did during nights.

Instead, she was lying in bed covered by a quilt, tossing and turning, clearly unable to sleep.

Due to the twelve-fold time difference between Earth Star and the Cangyun Realm, everything appeared accelerated in Chen Huaian's eyes.

This made Li Qingran's restlessness even more apparent to him.

"It seems without This Venerable One here, the little lass can't even sleep peacefully..."

Chen Huaian narcissistically thought to himself, a slight smile curling his lips as he opened the Electronic Girlfriend log for another look.

Good heavens.

The log was densely packed with records of 'missing Master'.

Starting from the morning she woke up after he left the Cangyun Realm.

These records had been constantly and frantically refreshing in the Electronic Girlfriend log, with the refresh speed getting faster and faster.

And as these 'missing records' appeared.

Li Qingran's favorability rating had also been gradually increasing.

The final 30-point gap in favorability between him and Li Qingran had been filled exactly this way.

As the ancient saying goes—absence makes the heart grow fonder.

One could only say that the wisdom summarized by the ancients was truly on point.

If not for this twelve-fold time flow difference, he might never have realized that after their relationship had stabilized.

The way to continue increasing favorability was actually through separation.

Even though it seemed like he hadn't accomplished much since returning to Earth Star.

Back and forth, nearly two days had actually passed, which meant almost over twenty days had gone by in the Cangyun Realm.

Over twenty days of leaving without saying goodbye—one could imagine Li Qingran must not be feeling good about it.

"That thing, I suddenly have some matters to handle."

Chen Huaian put away his phone and said to Zhang Yibai and Gu Changsheng:

"You two follow Hua Jin to search the Great Thunder Temple, I'll be taking my leave first..."

He glanced at the Buddha statue still standing in the center of the Great Thunder Temple ruins, which hadn't suffered even a scratch during his battle with the Golden Scale Heaven-Piercing Python, his expression turning more serious: "This Great Thunder Temple has many strange aspects, you should proceed with utmost caution." 𝘳ÃƝ𝐎ꞖƐṢ

He wasn't particularly worried about this point.

Although he didn't know what was up with that Buddha statue, with Hua Jin the True One present.

Having experienced so many reincarnation cycles, Hua Jin the True One surely had considerable understanding of the Great Thunder Temple and wouldn't lead Zhang Yibai and Gu Changsheng into danger.

"What matter is so urgent? You're even giving up a treasure hunting opportunity? If we find any good items, Little Gu and I won't save any for you, you know." Zhang Yibai stared at Chen Huaian with suspicious eyes: "You're not rushing back to see that little disciple of yours, are you..."

Chen Huaian: "..."

Damn, is this the terrifying sixth sense of the older generation?

Feels like my underwear has been seen through!

"How could that be." Chen Huaian maintained a stiff face, saying seriously: "Old Zhang, you're really underestimating me! Am I that kind of person? I truly have very, very serious matters to handle!"

"Fine, go ahead." Zhang Yibai nodded, "With me here, nothing will go wrong."

...

Cangyun Realm, Moon Shadow Sect, within the Slanted Moon Three Stars Cave surrounded by countless restrictions.

The night was tranquil as water, with only the sounds of insects chirping.

Chen Huaian silently appeared outside the room door.

Normally he would actively reveal his aura to let Li Qingran know he had returned.

But today he intentionally concealed all his aura, wanting to give Li Qingran a surprise.

"Twenty-three days already..." Chen Huaian gently pushed open the room door.

Moonlight spilled through the window ledge, outlining the petite figure on the bed.

Li Qingran was lying on her side, partially covered by the brocade quilt.

The clear moonlight entering through the window illuminated her fair profile.

Her eyes were closed, her brows slightly furrowed, pearly teeth lightly biting the corner of the quilt, cheeks flushed with an unnatural rosy hue, legs unconsciously clamping the quilt, body slightly twisting as if resisting some invisible distress.

Faint, fragmented murmurs could be heard escaping from between her tightly clenched teeth:

"...Master...bad...left just like that...didn't even tell Qingran..."

"...it's been twenty-three days already...not a single message..."

"...is it...is it that you don't want Qingran anymore...hmph~"

The voice was filled with overwhelming grievance, sounding almost like...she was having a nightmare?

Chen Huaian watched this scene, the softest part of his heart deeply touched.

He walked to the bedside and sat down, stroking Li Qingran's lovely face—the touch was delicate yet scalding hot, like a boiled peeled egg?

This little lass...was actually this hot?

Just from sleeping...

Moreover, Li Qingran was already a Great Perfection Nascent Soul cultivator, she shouldn't be experiencing this situation. Unless, just like with drinking alcohol, she was intentionally not expelling the alcohol from her body, allowing herself to experience the feeling of being tipsy.

Chen Huaian didn't think too much about it, suddenly leaning close to Li Qingran's ear: "Who said Your Master doesn't want you anymore?"

"Ah—!" Li Qingran jolted in fright, her body trembling as her eyes snapped open.

When she clearly saw the figure she had been yearning for day and night sitting by her bed.

The voice was filled with overflowing grievance, sounding almost like...she was having a nightmare?
